Take the swordfish steaks and lay on a plate.  Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (about 1 tablespoon to each).  Season both sides with a little salt, pepper, onion powder and all purpose seasoning.  Cover and let sit in the refrigerator.

Meanwhile take the cauliflower and cut into florets.  Either process through the dish of your food processor. Then place in a bowl.  Season with 1 teaspoon sea salt, 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1 tablespoon all purpose seasonings.  Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.  Heat a large pan on medium-high heat.  Add cauliflower rice to the hot pan and let it begin to brown.  Toss lightly a couple of times.  Let cook for 5-7 minutes then remove from pan and place back in the large bowl or let rest on a baking sheet.

In the same pan heat again to a medium-high heat then add in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.  Add in shallots and let cook for about 3 minutes then add in zucchini, summer squash and red pepper.  Cook for about 5 minutes tossing to coat in the olive oil.  Add in 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1 teaspoon of all purpose seasonings.  Top with spinach then cover for 5 minutes.  Add in cauliflower rice, toss and keep warm.

Heat your outdoor grill over to a medium-high temperature.  While the grill is heating make your chimichurri.  

In your food processor or mini chopper add in parsley, basil, spinach, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper and olive oil.  Blend until smooth.  If it is too think then drizzle in more oil.
